    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I am considering customizing the stock pipes by cutting out the baffles or just cutting the pipes shorter altogether. Does anyone have any input on this? I already installed cheap air filter pods and need to rejet so any jet sizing info would help me out too. thanks
 
IMHO...I think they sound like crap, when the factory pipes / cans are all hacked up. Also, with the cheap pods and no real baseline to go by...you will have to tune by trial and error. More money and time, but doable.

Plug chops will be your friend if you proceed.

Welcome to the GSR. ;)
 
plug chops?

plug chops?

I installed 115 main jets and now i have a strange issue. The idle climbs as soon as the bike warms up and will not calm down. Is this an issue with sticky floats or needle? Is it possible the diaphram or other parts are damaged? Not to sure, need help.

p.s. still haven't modified exhaust yet. just "sporting for less" pods

plug chops?

Hi Mr. Viperman300,

A climbing idle usually means you are running lean. It could be because your jets are too small. It could mean that there are air leaks in your intake system. Did you replace the intake boots and O-rings? Running lean will fry your motor. You'll find informaion about "plug chops" and carb tuning on my website. Let's get started.

I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.
